The deadliest creature of all is humans. This is not completely reflected in the numbers, which are difficult to calculate (but are at about 500,000 a year). While animals kill out of accident or survival instinct, humans are the only that kill with intent. And do so in a myriad of ways daily.

Wars are constantly raging while greed destroys homes and lives. Civilization demands its victims through accidents and other impacts. This, not so glorious, first place should make everyone reconsider their priorities!
